Following a brief historical introduction, we get to see an impressive gallery of Ukrainians of different professions – from a farmer to a spacecraft engineer – speaking out about their life experience, their roots, and their take on self-identification. Among the personalities featured in the film, there are famous artists, such as Jacques Hnizdovsky, and a celebrated American actor of Ukrainian decent Jack Palance, who is also narrating the picture.
